Frequently Asked Questions
What is ammonium C10-16 alkyl ether sulfate used for?
Ammonium C10-16 alkyl ether sulfate (CAS 67762-19-0, commonly ammonium laureth sulfate) is an anionic surfactant used as a primary detergent base in household and industrial cleaners and as a cleansing surfactant in shampoo and body-wash bases. It provides foaming, wetting, and detergency.
What is the common name for this surfactant?
It is commonly known as ammonium laureth sulfate (ALES), CAS 67762-19-0, the ammonium salt of an ethoxylated C10-16 alkyl ether sulfate. It is supplied as an aqueous solution.
Is ammonium laureth sulfate anionic?
Yes. It is an anionic surfactant carrying a sulfate head group, which delivers high, stable foam and strong detergency in aqueous wash systems.
What is the HS code for ammonium C10-16 alkyl ether sulfate?
It classifies under HS 3402.39 (anionic organic surface-active agents: other). Confirm the final classification with your customs broker for the supplied solution strength.
What is the cost of bulk ammonium laureth sulfate?
Pricing depends on active content, solution strength, and order volume. Request a current quote from RawSource with your target active percentage and volume; a CoA and SDS are provided with each shipment.
